I bought this car 2 years ago (had 57k miles) for my 16 year old daughter, she learned to drive a manual in my old mini, and she knows how to drive it properly and doesn't hold the clutch down at stop lights. She put about 30k on in two years and in that time i replaced the intake manifold, water pump, clutch, both radiator fans and hoses, and the fuel door (the spring broke in the door so I had to buy whole new assembly and have it repainted to match the car). Fortunately I'm able to do all these repairs my self (except the painting), but even the parts are super expensive. The manifold, water pump and clutch are all labor intensive repairs, I don't even want to think what the dealer would charge for these. This is for a car with less then 90K miles on it. Other than the repair issues the car is great, has plenty of power, great stereo, drives really nice, at least for a front wheel drive car. I'm a german car fan, I own a Q5 and BMW 5 series as well, so its a bit disappointing, and we plan to get my daughter something more reliable before she goes off to college.

Great Car for under $25k

Had my 4-door GTI for 2 months & about 2k miles. What really puts this car over the edge are the little things that make you realize the designers put extra thought into the car: the front doors have three different stops, allowing you to open them at up to a 90 degree angle; the foot-wells are lit at night; the ambient lighting around the center console at night; there is fabric lining the cubbys in the doors and the glovebox; the red stitching throughout the cabin. In many cars, these extra touches aren't there and you don't miss them. But this car was designed for driving pleasure by car people, not by the bean counters. At around $25k, this car is a bargain.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

I've had my GTI for about 2 weeks now, and overall, I'm very impressed. Plenty of power, good gas mileage, firm (but not punishing ride). It feels very solid and well put together. Seats are comfortable and supportive. Just took it on an 800 mile trip, and it was a joy to drive. I kind of wish I had gotten the manual, but with a long commute to work the DSG made more sense. It shifts very quickly, and I've only noticed a very slight delay at launch. Nothing major, as I've read on some other reviews. The GPS graphics are a little cheesy, and the map data is very outdated, despite VW telling me I have the latest version in it. But it's easy to use and pretty quick with calculations.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

I struggled with the decision of which car I would be buying. I wanting something safe, practical (for my soon to be growing family) and fun to drive. The GTI has exceeded all of my expectations. I decided to purchase the DSG Autobahn model and it is stunning. It is a smooth drive and has just enough "get-up" for me to navigate around Houston drivers. My two golden retrievers fit in the back with the seats laid down
